Sweet potatoes are one of my absolute favorites around the holidays. In fact, my mom has always made a dish of candied sweet potatoes mainly just for me. Moms will do that. I like them that much, and will smack away anyone’s hand who dares to take some, too. But do you know what will make them even better? Bacon.
Before you start in on all the deliciously heavy, rich foods of the holidays, though, make sure you’re heartburn prepared. Since nothing can ruin a great meal faster, Nexium® 24HR 42ct Tablets provides protection from frequent heartburn so everyone can savor the best of the Holidays.
Available on the shelf at Walgreens, just one pill a day provides all-day, all-night protection from frequent heartburn no matter the trigger. *Nexium® 24HR may take 1-4 days for full effect. It is not immediate relief.
So now that we’re prepared, let’s get to the sweet potatoes. But since it’s the holidays and all, we don’t want just any sweet potatoes. Not that there’s really anything wrong with that, either. But we’re looking for something special for the holidays. We need Maple Bacon Sweet Potato Wedges.
Even that name is a bit deceptive, however. Because they’re more than Maple Bacon Sweet Potato Wedges. They’re also coated in a brown sugar, cinnamon, chili powder mixture, then drizzled with maple syrup. A bit decadent, yes. But yum? Yes, please! How is that not delicious?
To get started, you first need just 2 sweet potatoes for 16 large wedges. Take a sweet potato and cut it in half. Cut that half in half again and then cut each of those halves at an angle. When all the cuts are made, you should have 4 wedges from one half of a sweet potato. Continue with all potatoes until all wedges are cut.
Then mix brown sugar, cinnamon, chili powder, salt, and olive oil in a large bag or bowl. Add the sweet potato wedges and toss to coat.
Place coated sweet potato wedges on a baking sheet. Cut strips of regular bacon, regular as in not thick cut and not seasoned, in half and wrap one half around each wedge. Return to baking sheet and coat lightly with maple syrup. Bake and wait.
Make sure you’re heartburn prepared, and get ready.
